I'm completely comfortable with largest reference starting at 1.  Because I use `len(table)` there; that is, the number of entries in the table.  In other words, "you need N entries available before you can use this header block"; as opposed to "the index of the last entry referenced in this header block is N".  It's better than trying to work out how to signal the special value.
